  1. Know the Celtic fans still have a game to lose before we're their next match, but thought I'd start it early. Will sort my tickets in next day or two. Got a good feeling about this one, though history tells me I'm wrong to.
  2. Total number of minutes played by Scottish() players aged 23 or younger. Results after 25 Weeks of football this season 1st - Kilmarnock 5667/24750 minutes (22.90% of available minutes) 2nd - Dundee 3412/22770 minutes (14.99% of available minutes) 3rd - Aberdeen 2277/21780 minutes (10.45% of available minutes) 4th - St Johnstone 2155/23760 minutes (9.08% of available minutes) 5th - Hearts 1281/24750 minutes (5.18% of available minutes) 6th - Hibernian 1206/24750 minutes (5.08% of available minutes) 7th - Livingstone 1222/24750 minutes (4.94% of available minutes) 8th - Motherwell 834/23760 minutes (3.51% of available minutes) 9th - Ross County 599/22770 minutes (2.63% of available minutes) 10th - St.Mirren 503/24750 minutes (2.03% of available minutes) 11th - Celtic 181/24750 minutes (0.73% of available minutes) 12th - Rangers 34/23760 minutes (0.14% of available minutes) Total minutes played by Scottish players aged 23 or younger in the top flight of Scottish football= 6.77%..(19,371/286,110) Duel nationality players are not included, only players who are declared as Scottish. (This has already took long enough to do without having to research every player to see if they’re eligible for Scotland , Eventually we’ll add them in). End goal? ⁃Build the same for Spain, Italy, England, Germany and France, see where Scotland correlates. I am deeply worried about the lack of minutes been given to young Scottish players in Scotland. I understand players are moving away to academies in England, across the continent etc, but the ones here aren’t developing enough as they are not playing. 1. Are the pathways to first teams failing? 2. Are Scotland not producing enough young talent? 3. both? Will be updated weekly below (Not my post, stole off twitter)
  3. Really? He was comfortably their best player. Was impressed with him. Wouldn't have been disappointed to see more of him in the Championship.
  4. You have to say McInnes managed Danny well today. Stuck him on the bench, a wee rocket up him, within minutes of coming on he scores.
  5. Just looked up where Cove Rangers is. A long trek - safe travels guys.
  6. He came through the Killie youth teams. Had been at a couple other clubs and was early 20s by time he was at Hearts I'm sure.
  7. That Livi goal is a good example of how rubbish the offside rule is. He's technically off because his shoulder is a playable part of his body and its an inch or so ahead of the defenders body cos he's leaning, but that's it. He gains no advantage whatsoever, he's basically in line. Obviously I'm relieved cos it let us off, but as a fan that needs changed
  8. Great win. Got to win when not at your best if you have ambitions to finish higher up. Recognised what wasn't working and made the right changes. Polworth. Kennedy. Rory. Even Murray was good when he came on. KVV showed more in the time he was on than Vass in his hour plus. If Van Veen fit he has to take his place now.
  9. That's been absolutely awful. No one coming short and wanting the ball, other than Vassell in thr last few mins who recognised the problem. Brutal. Sat when we need the protection and bite he leaves the midfield light. Tonight when we need ballers and to pick a pass he plays clogger Donnelly Don't agree with booing as they go off though. Entitlement
  10. I'm hoping at least one of them falls in to the 'mind games' from Derek category. Missing all 3 for tonight would be a huge blow. Hopefully the likes of GMS, Van Veen and Stewart are now fit and ready to step in.
  11. I absolutely hate loathe and detest Derek Adams (my, and P&B's, number 2 biggest bellend in Scottish fitba) so this is very, very pleasing.
  12. Delighted with the squad we've put together, but still expecting this game to be a horrible struggle. Greg Stewart has to start. Kyle Vassell has to sit on the bench.
  13. I'd go further. Motherwell gave us one of the greatest moments in Scottish football history. One that truly united the clans. Fucking glorious it was.
  14. Worst game of football I've seen in a while. Absolutely brutal. Slow to make changes, but a bit better when we did. Still in 4th so take the point and move on.
  15. Very generous of Rangers to put £24 behind the food kiosk.
  16. Any fan who claims to know the wage budget of their club or any other is guessing. Even the accounts don't give a true picture as some include non playing staff.
  17. I feel for your missus if this is how early you shoot your load. Now, apparently we are signing a striker called Kevin Van Veen. One of your favourite ever players apparently, Well fans. Odd one as we don't really need attackers, but suppose he can come in and fight for a place.
  18. And Van Veen. There isn't a team in the league who wouldn't be happy with that as their attacking options.
